I watched this on Cooper's show last night...
The "interview" was broadcast complete and unedited...
Incredibly, (though not surprisingly) the Trumpanzees are all over the internet crowing about what a great job Kellyanne did...(this complete version of the interview was posted on Youtube by one such alt-reality type)
Judge for yourself:
BTW, the core claim that Conway was finally reduced to in trying to back-up her allegations ...that CNN linked to the Buzzfeed story in it's coverage online...is (surprise surprise) false:
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/01/12 ... o-twitter/A full blown war broke out between President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team and news network CNN on Wednesday, and one of the points of contention is about one little link in a news story.
The link is at issue because CNN is attempting to distance itself and its reporting on Russian intelligence on Trump from Buzzfeed’s reporting which has been roundly criticized as not meeting standard journalistic practices. CNN’s Jake Tapper went so far as to call Buzzfeed out by name during the course of the network’s response to Trump after yesterday’s press conference. Trump Special Advisor Kellyanne Conway and other Trump surrogates are trying to conflate the two, in an attempt to sink CNN with the lead weight around Buzzfeed’s neck.
Unfortunately, her evidence is somewhat lacking, as CNN reporter Jim Sciutto — who was one of the original people to break the story — explained:Kellyanne Conway

Fact-check: Ahead of my spirited interview with @AC360, here is @CNN report linking AND discussing BuzzFeed report.

Sciutto accused Conway of a misleading statement because her tweet was a screenshot and no one can actually click on the link – but her claim that they link to the Buzzfeed story is false since it goes to a CNN-Money article instead. In the face of Sciutto’s retort, Conway moved the goalposts:Jim Sciutto
